Most likely, I might be posting this in the wrong section. If so please do excuse me as I barely ever ask for help, and I could not trace the exact same error I encountered. I am using Vaio which only has Ubuntu 12.04 (all pre-installed Microsoft is deleted).
I found indeed that the settings were only to report LTS upgrades, which I changed to all upgrades. After this I found that I was late in updating to 12.10
I did (after several failures of trying to get the upgrade) make sure that all 3rd party software was/is turned off.
However still I get an error "Application do-release-upgrade has closed unexpectedly" when clicking on the tab "more information" it only shows 'ExecutionPath' and underneath /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade.
Unfortunately after sending in this bug report, I have not been able to continue, as by clicking on continue all upgrade related parts shut down. I have thus not been able to retrace more error information, nor have I found a way to upgrade.
I am curious as why the upgrade is so difficult, in comparison to what it used to be (been using since Heron Hardy, so a few years). Never had this kind of problem, and I am also nor a very technical person so I do not wish to change to another system as Ubuntu, unless it gets too complicated to solve this problem.
Amlost,
